2017-07-07	glossary: Fix word order	Robert Vollmert

2017-07-06	Fix nix-instantiate manpage indentation	Robert Vollmert
	The second command variant is now its own cmdsynopsis, which ensures it's not indented as was the case using sbrk.
2017-07-04	Add allow-new-privileges option	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows builds to call setuid binaries. This was previously possible until we started using seccomp. Turns out that seccomp by default disallows processes from acquiring new privileges. Generally, any use of setuid binaries (except those created by the builder itself) is by definition impure, but some people were relying on this ability for certain tests. Example: $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --no-allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 2 log lines: cannot raise the capability into the Ambient set : Operation not permitted $ nix build '(with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" {} "/run/wrappers/bin/ping -c 1 8.8.8.8; exit 1")' --allow-new-privileges builder for ‘/nix/store/j0nd8kv85hd6r4kxgnwzvr0k65ykf6fv-foo.drv’ failed with exit code 1; last 6 log lines: PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=46 time=15.2 ms Fixes #1429.

2017-05-10	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2017-05-10	Replace readline by linenoise	Eelco Dolstra
	Using linenoise avoids a license compatibility issue (#1356), is a lot smaller and doesn't pull in ncurses.
2017-05-10	doc: builtins.attrNames returns alphabetically sorted list	Domen Kožar

2017-05-03	Merge pull request #1371 from regnat/doc_--xml_fix	Eelco Dolstra
	fix the description of --xml and --json
2017-05-03	doc: fix the description of --xml and --json	regnat
	Those options seem to only apply with --eval and not with --parse.
2017-05-01	Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOAD	Eelco Dolstra
	This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment variables predate nix.conf. The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote). The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.
2017-04-24	Merge pull request #1347 from kennyballou/sm-grammar-fix	Eelco Dolstra
	Fix small grammar issue about page

	better document --meta option for nix-env
2017-04-20	Drop misleading ellipses	James Earl Douglas
	This portion of the quick start guide may lead to confusion for newcomers to Nix. This change clarifies the example to one that can be copied in its entirety.
2017-04-20	Read per-user settings from ~/.config/nix/nix.conf	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-20	binary-caches-parallel-connections -> http-connections	Eelco Dolstra

2017-04-17	Manual: document tryEval	Linus Heckemann

2017-04-13	Convert Settings to the new config system	Eelco Dolstra
	This makes all config options self-documenting. Unknown or unparseable config settings and --option flags now cause a warning.
2017-04-12	Move note about float support out of the wrong release notes	Benjamin Staffin
	Looks like this snuck into the 1.11 release notes post-release, but float support isn't actually present until 1.12.
2017-03-31	Merge branch 'remove-perl' of https://github.com/shlevy/nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-21	Fix tests to reflect the signed-binary-caches default change	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-15	Store: Add a method for getting build logs	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows various Store implementations to provide different ways to get build logs. For example, BinaryCacheStore can get the build logs from the binary cache. Also, remove the log-servers option since we can use substituters for this.
2017-03-09	nix -> Nix	Eelco Dolstra

2017-03-08	Add docs for allow-import-from-derivation	Shea Levy

2017-02-28	Support auto-configuration of build-max-jobs	Eelco Dolstra
	"build-max-jobs" and the "-j" option can now be set to "auto" to use the number of CPUs in the system. (Unlike build-cores, it doesn't use 0 to imply auto-configuration, because a) magic values are a bad idea in general; b) 0 is a legitimate value used to disable local building.) Fixes #1198.
2017-02-27	Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobs	Eelco Dolstra
	We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit message for de4cdd0d47adc70a4db12397a42c18ee50b4e662 also got this wrong.)
2017-02-21	Fix XML validity	Eelco Dolstra

2017-02-20	Document toString better	Linus Heckemann

2017-02-16	Tweak netrc docs	Eelco Dolstra

2017-01-03	Drop a few more references to all-packages.nix	Eelco Dolstra
	And also don't refer to f-spot, which apparently no longer exists. Issue #1170.

2016-11-03	installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)	Manav Rathi
	The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst .bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile. So .bash_profile (if it is writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh in, say, .profile. This commit introduces a new environment variable, NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE. If this is set during installation, then the modifications are unconditionally skipped. This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is already sourced at a place where the user prefers. Without this change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if it exists. This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and the new override.
